Generalizing of a Non-Linear Infinite Series Finitely bound recursive relation.

Geometry is the study of shapes. This includes things like squares, circles, and triangles. These shapes are of a lower dimension than our 3 dimension, these two dimensional shapes are transformed into a higher dimension to show how our universe functions on a basic level. There are different types of geometry; such as topology, packing, and fractals. These genres of geometry have been used separately to help solve complex equations from Sphere-Packing randomness (Torquat, 2010), Poincar conjecture, or to describe the motion of an electron (Hirokazu & Georgios, 2013). When these functions of geometry are combined, their product can be complex, where they are dependent on knowing a single initial part of the whole. In other words this means that if these kinds of functions can be generalized into n-dimensional space complex systems in physics can become deterministic. This type of math has lead to the creation of many fundamental theorems in the field of mathematics and in physics, with the most notable contribution in recent history being Einstein's theory of General Relativity. The idea is that you have a circle inscribed into a square, in the remaining areas what are all the possible square(s)? This is a complex non-linear function, where the function is all predetermined on , which means that all the sets of to . This function is similar

to a fractal but not the same, a fractal always changes by a constant, while in this case the square length gets changes by a function of the circle.

Question: At the Nth set how does the largest squares (that do not overlap) effect the remaining area of the initial square (the larger scripted section). Hypothesis: As N approaches infinity the square at N times will have a smaller and smaller effect on the remaining area.

The methods that will be used to approach this problem will be non-linear recursive relations, pythagorean theorem, and slope formula. Most of these equations will be able to have some form of a constant because of the radius being 1 and thus the sides of the square each

equaling 2. Using these as the main equations, a recursive analysis and group theory will be used to attempt at generalizing this problem.
